Ah to sleep is divine but not for me.

I have been having a hard time sleeping last couple of nights. It is off and on throughout the night. I try not to toss and turn too much as to wake my husband up. It seems to come in cycles so I know this will eventually stop happening. For awhile at least. And of course one would think that I would then sleep later the next morning but I don't let myself. I get up by 9 and get myself and my dogs out walking. We do a couple of miles then it is home and I keep myself busy. My hope is that I will then sleep that night. So far it has not worked for the past two nights.
But I will persevere and not get frustrated or down about it. Just keep doing the positive things I have been doing. Oh yea and when I do manage to sleep I have weird vivid dreams that wake me up. My mind never stops thinking or working or whatever. It is constantly going and those times I do sleep through the night I can dream so actively that I wake up the next morning feeling like I have not slept at all. I can remember bits and pieces and when I describe them to my husband he says I have the weirdest dreams ever. And I know it is said everyone dreams but there are those who just don't remember they did. Not me I dream every night and remember I do. I can tag bits and pieces, or sometimes remember most of it or sometimes none of it but I always know I dreamed! I just know there has to be others like me when it comes to dreams and knowing one dreams every night.
